James Mirtle, Senior Managing Editor with The Athletic, breaks down how this version of the Maple Leafs stacks up against past iterations heading into the playoffs (8:00). JD and James rank who has the highest stakes in the Leafs brass, the matchup against the Boston Bruins, configuring the blue line in Game 1 and Auston Matthews' legacy. JD then touches on the loss of the Arizona Coyotes (50:00). Ben Nicholson-Smith, Blue Jays Writer and Co-Host of At The Letters, discusses John Schneider's decision to trot out Erik Swanson and Jordan Romano into high leverage situations in their first appearance, if Daulton Varsho's offence is normalizing, Ricky Tiedemann's slow start in AAA, why Alek Manoah is with the team and when his window might be closed (55:00). The show ends with thoughts on Masai Ujiri's exit interview and Jontay Porter's lifetime ban.
